A Court Scene.

THAT was good story you told

n man about town, but | know a

"Let us have it,"
"The event happened whenJudCe VA
pie was defending some criminal. lie
was making an argument to the jury,
and he noticed that everybody in the
court room had broad grin. If he
turned to the Judge he discovered signs
OF levity, and turning again to the
jury every member was seen with the
corners OF his mouth turned up and
his teeth exposed. Judge Haple knew
he was saying nothing funny, as Is his
wont, and he was annoyed not little
over what he could not help noticing.
Finally the noon adjournment came,
and he FASTENED to a friend to ask the
cause, when, to his utter mortifica.
ton he was informed that because OF
a short sack coat which he wore an
ugly rent in his trousers had been
plainly visible, and from 1t
had been unfurled the flag

afternoon session, and when he did so
everybody was awaiting him. lie

1.-THE explanation thus given was
followed by a laugh, and Judge 1aple,

knowledge it with bows, and the more
he thus acknowledged the louder grew
the laugh, until the court room was IN
an uproar, and then the same KIND

Judge Yaple and whispered in his ear;

Care Tor the Aged.
Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
Virgi's renowned hero, Eneas, re.
ceived his familiar epithet OF "pious"
from his loving care OF his old father,
Anchises. In all times and chimes O.
like care has ever been regarded rs
prime demand upon filial piety. One
point at which such care may be ex.
ercised is in guarding the health OF our
aged parents, and thus protracting
their life and rendering it worth pro-
tracing. The generation now near
ing it's close had its birth and growth
when this whole <aatter was little UNI
derstood even bythe medical PROBES
sion.
All knew that it was a common
thing for the old to be suddenly struck
down with apoplexy, or hurried to
their graves by an attack OF pneumo-
mia, or bronchitis due to an ordinary
cold. OF such and kindred cases it
was said that they died OF old age.
Life, it was thought, had reached it's
natural limit; the body was worn out
in every part and went to pieces, as u
matter OF course, all ut once, like the
deacon's "one-horse shay" Now, as
n general thing, we might as well say
that n child dies OF infancy, when its
mother does not suitably protect it.
The fact is every age has its tendencies
and special exposures.
In old age the arteries lose their
elasticity and toughness, and readily
give way, especially those OF the brain
under whatever quickens the action OF
the heart. The circulation, too, is
feeble, and slight chill is enough to
drive the blood back on the internal
organs, thus giving rise to various
congestions. Indeed, n common cold
is often much more dangerous to the
aged than smallpox to an adult, or
scarlet fever to child.
The recuperative power also, is so
weakened in the aged as to make al
most any ordinary ailment serious
| thing. The secretions are greatly les
sened, so that digestion, especially OF
/ Intdli 10 lllNCh ili pe'iiNH, ''''N' NV " "
els tend to severe constipation, with
its grave evils.
Children, and all on whom the aged
depend, should not only understand,
but be alive to all this. Says Prot.
II. c. Wood, NJ, d., LII. d.. in. the
Medical and Surgical Reporter:
"a large proportion OF those who
are said to die from old age, really die
from the effects of exposure, and it
must be remembered that the term
exposure is relative. What in ayoung
man may be nothing, may to an old
man be u serious matter.
Zone OF the most perfect protec-
tions from cold is buckskin jacket.
Nothing else will compare with it.
These patients must be guarded es'
pecially against exposure to wind
even more than against damp.
"High winds chill the surface, OPP
press respiration, and are exceedingly
disastrous to the life of any person
whose circulation is without power.
Stimulating food should be with
drawn. Meat should be used but
sparingly. Milk should be the chiei
article OF Diet"

Carrier Pigeons.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t is not known with what nation
the use OF the carrier pigeon originat-
ed, but there is no doubt that the
custom is very ancient. The Romans
used the birds for this purpose, and
Sir John Vaudeville, one OF the earli-
err travellers from Europe to the
Orient, states that he found them
used in the same way among the
Asiatcs. We have the assertion OF
the poet Tasso for believing that they
were so employed during the siege OF
Jerusalem in 1899, and it is an un.
doubted historical fact that they
were used during the crusade OF st.
Louis in 1850. The most remarka-
BILE instance OF the use of carrier
pigeons in modern times was during
the siege OF Paris, in 1870. They
have been more generally used in
Turkey than in any other country
for many centuries, and the art OF
training them is understood to be
carried to It's greatest perfection there.
The trainer takes the pigeons when
they have acquired full strength OF
wing in covered basket to a distance
OF about half n mile from their home;
here they are set at liberty and
thrown into the air, and il any fall in
returning home from this short dis
lance they are regarded as naturally
stupid, and 10 time is wasted in en-
deavoring to train them. Those that
do, come home are trained by being
taken to greater distances, progress
lively increased to forty or fifty miles.
When the bird is able to accomplish
this flight he may be trusted to fly
any distance overland, within the
limits OF physical power. This drill
irg must be begun very early, or even
the best breeds OF birds will not be-
come good carriers. 1t is the general
plan to keep the birds in q dark room
for some hours before they are used.
They are then fed sparingly, but are
given all the water they can drink.
The paper on which the message IS
written is then carefully tied round
the upper part OF the birds leg or to
one OF the large feathers OF the tail,
so as not to impede its flight in any
way. The feet are washed in vinegar
TO keep them from getting too dry
during the birds flight so as to tempt
it to descend to water and run the
risk OF getting its message wet. Tho
ordinary rate OF flight for carrier
pigeon is from twenty to thirty miles
an hour, though instances OF much
more rapid flight are on record. The
pigeon, when thrown up into the air,
at first flies round and round. This
is evidently for the purpose OF sight
ing some landmark that it knows.
When this is perceived the bird in
stantly flies toward it, and as other
familiar landmarks come. gradually
into sight, continues its journey on
till its home is reached. If no land
mark is perceived the bird is bewilder-
ed and finally returns to the earth
again.

der Abe says there will be more clubs located
in ST. Louis while the Browns are in existence
William Gleason has again signed with the st.
Louis Browns. This makes six successive years
that he has been on the payroll of the Brown
stocking Club.
Manager Foster, of the Minneapolis club, in
order to encourage the players to do their best,
will offer three gold medals for the best averages
during the season of 1887, to be distributed to
the man who does the best batting, TO the man
who makes the most runs. and to the player
who steals the largest number of bases.
The Boston players have been told by their d.
rectors that every offender will be severely disc-
plined who is to drink in public place, or
whose actions are detrimental to the interests of
the club. The club has so many spare men who
are good players that it afford to lay man
off indefinitely. without pay, as player stands
ready to take his place.
The probable batting order of the Detrots this
season will be as follows. with the exception of
the change of batteries: Hanlon, center field;
Rowe, short-stop: Richardson, left field; Brouth-
ers, first base Thompson right field: Dunlap,
second base; White, third base Briody, catcher;
Knowlton, pitcher Manager Watkins is of the
opinion that the above order is the best one pos
sbie for getting runs.
With one or two exceptions all of the old mem
bers of the Philadelphia club have signed.
Among the new men the most promising players
are Weyhing and Stalking. Harry Wright looks
upon the former as coming player. In the box
he is said to be one of the best in the team,
and during the trip through the South has
yielded remarkably few hits. Hs throws curves.
shows that he can be counted on for effective
work during the season Stahling. the six-fcot
Southerner, is said to be the best batter and base
runner of all the new men.

CINoINNATI, April 4-Ouly about 200 people
attended the game to-day, and shivered in the
cold west wind and choked on the flying dust.
Mother club played with much vim under
the very discouraging circumstances. 1t was
Healy's first game. and he seemed to lack conf
dence in himself, and pitched wildly In the
first inning three men were given bases on balls.
and he was hit for four doubles and two singles,
which netted eight runs as a starter for Cincin-
natl In the second he gave three more men
bases, but after that he pulled himself together
and did very well when he settled down to bust
ness, until the seventh inning, whom they broke
loose on him again. and four singles and triple
Dagger netted Cincinnati eight more runs.
After Cincinnati got good start Mullane eased,
and the Hoosier boys hit him very hard. The
features Of the game were running fly catches
by Nicol, McPhee and Tebeau, and the fine
homo runs by Glasscock and Denny. Except
for the nervousness Of Healy. the Indianapolis
boys played very good ball, when all things are
taken into consideration. The score was as
follows:
